Alright here is an update -
Got my center diff top plate (made of 2 sheets of 1/8'' Lexan) almost done (still have some minor work to do on it) and I also got my motor support made of Lexan done.
And for anyone wondering, this is (see pictures) the drill press I use for all this stuff. Couldn't do any of this without it. Great drill press, its friggin huge, a little taller than me and I am 5'10''. It's really old too, has a Douglas Aircraft Co., Inc. tag on it with a serial number and it says Long Beach on it. Wouldn't surprise me if it was from WWII. And as far as I know, that is the original paint. And when my dad found it in a junk yard a few years back, it had no motor, so he fitted a motor from a swamp cooler on it and the right pulley and it works great.
